Growing up in rural North Carolina of working class parents instilled in me working class values and loyalty to the people who make this country great. My working class loyalties and values continue to define my professional life and remain the driving force behind my areas of law practice. When it comes to our civil justice system, however, the playing field is not level. It's tipped in favor of corporations, insurance companies and money. I stand firmly and proudly with you. Representing negligently injured people is my passion, and holding others responsible for the consequences of their actions makes our children, our families, and our world a little safer. I believe responsibility for consequences causes corporations and their insurance companies to think twice about making human pain and suffering an accounting entry.
